The blood platelet counts of a group of women have a bell-shaped distribution with a mean of 246.9 and a standard deviation of 6

9.3 (All units are 1000 cells/l.) Using the empirical rule, find each approximate percentage below. a. What is the approximate percentage of women with platelet counts within 1 standard deviation of the mean, or between 177.6 and 316 2? b. What is the approximate percentage of women with platelet counts between 39.0 and 454.8? a. Approximately % of women in this group have platelet counts within 1 standard deviation of the moan, or between 177.6 and 316.2. (Type an integer or a decimal. Do not round.)

Answer:

The approximate percentage of women with platelet counts within 1 standard deviation of the mean, or between 177.6 and 316.2 is 68%.

The approximate percentage of women with platelet counts between 39.0 and 454.8 is 99.7%

Step-by-step explanation:

Mean : $\mu = 246.9$

Standard deviation : $\sigma = 0.49$

Empirical rule :

1 ) 68% of the data lies within 1 standard deviation of mean

This means 68% of data lies between: $\mu-\sigma$ to $\mu+\sigma$

2) 95% of the data lies within 2 standard deviation of mean

This means 95% of data lies between: $\mu-2\sigma$ to $\mu+2\sigma$

3) 99.7% of the data lies within 3 standard deviation of mean

This means 99.7% of data lies between: $\mu-3\sigma$ to $\mu+3\sigma$

Now to find the approximate percentage of women with platelet counts within 1 standard deviation of the mean, or between 177.6 and 316. 2

Use rule 1: $\mu-\sigma$ to $\mu+\sigma$

$246.9-69.3$ to $246.9+69.3$

$177.6$ to $316.2$

So, according to rule 1, 68% of the data lies within 1 standard deviation of mean i.e. 68% of the data lies between 177.6 and 316.2.

Now to find the approximate percentage of women with platelet counts between 39.0 and 454.8?

Use rule 3: $\mu-3\sigma$ to $\mu+3\sigma$

$\mu-3\sigma$ to $\mu+3\sigma$

$39$ to $454.8$

So, According to rule 3 : 99.7% of the data lies within 3 standard deviation of mean i.e. 99.7% of data lies between 39.0 and 454.8

HELP ME ASAP!!!

Olenka [21]

Answer:

21.6 liters

Step-by-step explanation:

40 drops make up a volume of 10 mL

Therefore, the volume of 1 drop of water = 10mL/40 = 1/4 mL= 0.25mL

Since the tap loses 1 drop of water in 1 sec, it loses 0.25mL of water in 1 second

60 seconds make up 1 second so volume of water lost in 1 minute = 0.25 x 60 = 15 mL

60 minutes make up 1 hour so volume of water lost in 1 hour = 15 x 60 = 900 mL

24 hours make up a day so volume of water lost in 1 day = 900 x 24 = 21,600 mL

Since 1000 mL make up 1 liter, divide by 1000 to get volume in liters

Volume of water lost in 1 day = 21600/1000 = 21.6 liters

Can be done as one equation

V lost in one day = 0.25 x 3600 x 24 mL = 21600 mL = 21.6 L

Find the gradient of the line Joining the points p(-2,6) and Q(3,-2)

Rudiy27

Answer:

$- \frac{8}{5}$

Step-by-step explanation:

$\boxed{gradient = \frac{y1 - y2}{x1 - x2} }$

(x₁, y₁) is the 1st coordinate while (x₂, y₂) is the 2nd coordinate.

Gradient of the line

$= \frac{6 - ( - 2)}{ - 2 - 3}$

$= \frac{6 + 2}{ - 5}$

$= - \frac{8}{5}$

HELP !! a sandwich shop purchases a used pizza oven for $875. after 5 years, the oven will have to be discarded and replaced. wr

Sladkaya [172]

<h3>Answer: V = -175t + 875</h3>

==================================================

Explanation:

I'll use y in place of V for now. Also, I'll use x in place of t.

x = number of years

y = value of the oven

Initially, the oven's value is $875, so x = 0 and y = 875 pair up together. The point (0,875) is on the line.

The point (5, 0) is also on the line to indicate that x = 5 years later is when the value of the oven is y = 0 dollars.

We need to find the equation of the line through (0,875) and (5,0)

First we'll need the slope

m = (y2-y1)/(x2-x1)

m = (0-875)/(5-0)

m = -175

The negative slope means the oven is losing 175 dollars in value each year.

The y intercept is b = 875 as this is the initial value of the oven

Put together, y = mx+b turns into y = -175x+875

If we plugged x = 0 into this equation, we'd get y = 875

Similarly, plugging x = 5 into y = -175x+875 leads to y = 0. This helps check we have the right equation

Lastly, replace x with t and replace y with V to end up with V = -175t + 875 which is our final answer.
